Freight Technologies will raise $20 million to buy TRUMP tokens. FRGT prices rallied before sinking. Will this ease U.S.-Mexico trade tension, or is it a bribe to win Donald Trump’s favor?
Rarely do stock prices surge by more than 100%. Three days ago, that’s exactly what FRGT stock did. Stock prices of the small logistics firm soared by over 150%, more than doubling from $1.20 to $3.42 yesterday.

However, the gap was quickly filled during after-market hours earlier today, with FRGT inching lower, back below $2, and likely to lose all gains by the end of the week.
So, what triggered this “FOMO” on Nasdaq, driving FRGT prices to record highs in Q2 2025?

Freight Technologies to Stack TRUMP Meme Coin
“We believe that adding Official Trump tokens is an excellent way to diversify our crypto treasury and an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced, and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.,” Freight Technologies declared in a press release.
What’s more? They won’t be buying $1 million or $5 million worth of TRUMP tokens, but a staggering $20 million.
Funds will be raised from investors, and, similar to Strategy (former MicroStrategy), they will pour everything into TRUMP, aiming to make the meme coin the cornerstone of their digital asset strategy.
Interestingly, even with this announcement, TRUMP prices didn’t rise. In fact, the meme coin has been on a downtrend, losing over 50% of its gains from April 23.
TRUMP, one of the best Solana meme coins, has faced intense selling pressure, sliding from over $75 to around $7, a 95% drop.
This sell-off may explain why some critics believe the president could be misleading investors by using the TRUMP token as a vehicle.
“TRUMP coin is a scam, and its mere existence is embarrassing for all U.S. citizens,” one user posted on X. “We should expect better from our leaders.”
Whether the president, linked to the meme coin, is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” remains to be seen. Many don’t care, and the president himself sees no issue, even promoting it on X.
🦅 🇺🇸 Trump is back at scamming the American citizens again.
He is promoting the $Trump meme coin that he endorsed 2 months ago, coin that lost 90% of its value since.

If the president thinks the TRUMP meme coin is “cool” and loves it, Freight Technologies is convinced now is the time to buy every circulating token.
Buying enough to rank high on the leaderboard could secure an invitation to dinner with Donald Trump on May 22.
Is This a Genuine Attempt to Promote Cross-Border Commerce or a Bribe?
For observers, Freight Technologies’ decision to buy TRUMP tokens is a high-stakes gamble that could either pay off in the long term or irreparably damage its reputation (and finances).
CEO Javier Selgas framed the move as a diversification of their treasury and a symbolic gesture to advocate for “fair, balanced, and free trade” between the United States and Mexico.
In their view, there’s no better way to demonstrate their commitment to “America First” than by buying TRUMP tokens. Looking at trading volume, the meme coin is undoubtedly one of the best cryptos to consider in May.
Freight Technologies is accumulating TRUMP amid fears of escalating tensions between the United States and Mexico due to tariffs.
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada for goods not covered by the USMCA.
While the impact is uncertain, Freight Technologies, which relies heavily on cross-border logistics, faces risks from these tariffs, which could disrupt its financial stability and, ultimately, profits.
Will this purchase help them secure favorable treatment from the Trump administration? If so, could it be considered a “bribe”?
This is called a bribe.
We all know it’s a bribe. The freight company spending $20 million admits it’s a bribe.

If Freight Technologies receives favorable treatment, will Donald Trump be held accountable?
These are the questions raised by Melanie D’Arrigo, former executive of Campaign for New York Health, on X.
